I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Chapter 125 Versailles Li Lan

In the middle of the night, Li Lan woke up slowly, looked at the roof that appeared and disappeared, closed his eyes, and couldn't help rubbing his temples with his hands.

"Girl, you're awake."

Zhou Yuntian anxiously stood up from the chair, walked a few steps to the bed and sat down, holding her hand tightly.

Li Lan opened his eyes again, tilted his head and looked up at his handsome face. His bloodshot eyes flashed with joy, which then turned into a trace of heartache. After a moment, a smile appeared on his pale face, and he said in a weak voice:

"Zhou Yuntian, it really is you. I thought I was seeing things. I scared you!"

Zhou Yuntian pinched her palm, looked at her thin and pale face, and sighed.

"Yeah. I was scared. Even now, when I think back to the scene of you falling, I still feel a little scared and panic. It's all my fault."

After saying that, he pulled her hand and pressed it tightly against his face, his eyes full of self-blame and guilt.

Seeing him like this, Li Lan tried to sit up with one hand, but Zhou Yuntian quickly held down his shoulders.

"Girl, lie down. Doctor Xu said you caught a cold and haven't had enough rest recently, so your condition is so serious."

Li Lan looked at his serious expression that didn't allow any objection, and said hello gently.

"Zhou Yuntian, you don't need to blame yourself for what I did. We all have our own missions, don't we?"

"Girl, I don't want any mission, I just want you."

At this moment, his eyes were fixed, and his grip on her hand was tightening. Seeing him so paranoid for the first time, Li Lan's heart suddenly ached. She stopped arguing and quickly put on a slight smile, saying softly, "Okay, I'll always be with you."

Her words were like a gentle breeze, instantly soothing the anger in his heart. Zhou Yuntian smiled and said softly, "Girl, you can't break your promise."

"Come on, let's make a pinky promise."

……

Li Lan's illness truly frightened everyone. Several village heads and key officials had been coming to see her every day after finishing their work. Eventually, Li Lan couldn't stand it anymore and ordered them to quickly finish their work and not come back. Even Zhou Yuntian was assigned to accompany Li Yan every day to check on the workshops, village committees, and the docks.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly. Li Lan asked Zhou Da to put a recliner in the yard, covered himself with a thin blanket, closed his eyes, and lay on the chair to bask in the sun. He took a deep breath and thought to himself: I haven't felt so comfortable for a long time.

"Xiao Lan, are you feeling better?"

Li Lan opened his eyes, sat up immediately, looked at the person who came, and smiled.

"Fourth Uncle, I haven't had time to congratulate you properly yet."

Seeing her sit up, Li Chunhua quickly said, "Hurry up and lie down and rest for a while."

"It's okay, Fourth Uncle. I'm much better now. It's just that I've been resting for a few days, so I can't help but feel a little lazy."

Looking at her thin face, Li Chunhua's eyes flashed with a trace of heartache.

"Xiao Lan, you've done enough for the village, and you don't have to do so much for them anymore. When I pass the second-class exam next spring, you and mother can stay home and don't have to work so hard."

Li Lan saw that there was worry between his brows and his eyes were bloodshot, and his eyebrows twitched.

"Fourth Uncle, who said anything to you that made you look so sad?"

"No, I just can't bear to see you suffer."

Li Chunhua stared at Li Lan with eyes full of tenderness and heartache.

Seeing this, Li Lan's heart sank and he lowered his eyes. After a moment, he raised his eyes and was about to say something to him when Li Xi came over with the medicine.

Seeing that she was about to drink the medicine, Li Chunhua prepared to turn around and leave. As she left, she reached out to rub the fine hair on Li Lan's head. However, this time, Li Lan did not have time to dodge.

Feeling the soft hair in her hands, Li Chunhua chuckled, and her face, which had been full of gloom for days, finally showed a little smile. She looked deeply at the stunned Li Lan, and left with a brisk pace.

"girl."

Li Xi stood aside holding the medicine, watching Li Chunhua leave, then turned back to look at the dazed Li Lan, and hurried over to put the medicine on the stone table beside him.

Li Lan came back to his senses, with a complex look in his eyes. He sighed softly, picked up the medicine beside him and drank it all in one gulp.

"Xier, can you see anything?"

Seeing her ask this, Li Xi rolled his eyes, quickly leaned over, and whispered, "Miss, if you really want me to tell you."

Li Lan glanced at her and said with a smile, "Hurry up and tell me."

Li Xi's eyes lit up, and she said sternly, "Young lady, you don't know how frightened everyone was when you fell ill that day. The Madam was almost frightened to death, but it was Mrs. Li who supported her and helped her breathe. Then there were the Master and the Madam. They only stopped crying when Doctor Xu said they were fine. The two young masters were also so frightened that they cried for a long time when they came back from school."

Mr. Zhou and the Fourth Master both wanted to carry you back to your room, but Mr. Zhou was already holding you. The Fourth Master said that this was not in accordance with etiquette and would cause gossip among the villagers. Girl, you don’t know what Mr. Zhou looked like at that time…”

At this point, Li Xi swallowed her saliva, and then saw Li Lan frowning and staring at her. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "If anyone had snatched you from Master Zhou at that time, he would have probably gone on a killing spree. Later, when Master Zhou and his men saw that something was wrong with their master, they quickly stopped the Fourth Master, and the situation finally calmed down.

But, girl..."

Li Xi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she leaned over and whispered something in Li Lan's ear.

Li Lan frowned, and then he lost the desire to lie down in the sun.

"Xier, go and get busy first."

Seeing that she wanted to get rid of him, Li Xi sighed inwardly, took the empty bowl aside, and turned to leave.

"Host, Li Xi is right. Your fourth uncle really likes you. You are just confused by the situation."

Li Lan chuckled and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"Xiaobao, what do you, a child, know?"

"Host, how could I not understand? I've watched you on the big screen several times. The way your fourth uncle looks at you is not innocent."

Li Lan raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiaobao, how many times have you watched the big screen? Do you want me to pass you some sunflower seeds and peanuts next time?"

Xiaobao realized that he had spoken out of turn and quickly said, "Hey, the main system called me. Host, we'll talk later."

Li Lan snorted coldly, sat down on the recliner, and then touched his chin, thinking: Is my charm so great? Why didn't I realize it in my previous life? Oh, don't be obsessed with me, I'm really just a legend.

Xiaobao: The host has finally been normal for so long, why is he acting so Versailles again?

Fengyi Hall of the Bianjing Imperial Palace.

Under the crabapple tree, Chu Ci, dressed in a red robe, sat behind the guqin, looking at the crabapple leaves falling in the wind, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

"Madam, this is a letter from Nanny Song."

Chu Ci's eyelashes trembled, and he reached out to take the letter and unfolded it. After a moment, bursts of joyful laughter emanated from his chest, and then he whispered:

"Okay, my Rui'er is extraordinary."

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps. Nanny Li turned around to look at the person who came. Her face changed drastically and she quickly knelt down to salute.

"This old servant pays homage to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

Chu Ci's eyes darkened, he stuffed the letter into his sleeve, quickly stood up and walked to Emperor Huide to kneel down and pay his respects.

Seeing this, Emperor Huide took her arm with one hand and watched her exude more and more mature charm as time went by. The heroic look between her eyebrows made him recall the scene when he first met her.

"His Majesty."

Emperor Huide's eyes flickered, and then he said softly, "Ci'er, you are smiling so happily, is there something you are happy about?"

Chu Ci lowered his eyes, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, then raised his eyes and smiled: "I just played the zither and recalled some past events."

"Oh? Then I have something I want to tell Ci'er. I wonder if Ci'er would be happier if I hear it?"

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Emperor Huide couldn't help but sigh when he saw her so distant.

"Ci'er, I know you blame me. Back then, I let Zhuang Moyin get pregnant and give birth first because I was careless and fooled. Back then, I made you lose the child because of my carelessness. Back then, I let the dying old Duke know that you had lost the child and died with grievances, which was even more careless. All of this is because I was too conceited back then."

A trace of pain flashed across Chu Ci's eyes, and his eyes turned red. Then he stared closely into Emperor Huide's eyes.

"Qin Di, we can't go back after all."
